Suluban Beach or better known as Blue Point Beach is one of the beautiful white sandy beaches in Bali in addition to Dreamland Beach, maybe you wonder why this one Bali tourist attraction has two names, plus the name is also much different
It is hard to find a quiet beach in Bali, including this one is not a deserted beach. Visitors? mostly bule, the reason? one, the waves here one of the paradise for surfers.
I am not a surfer but enjoy the beauty of this beach is more than enough. Blue Point beach, or Suluban beach is located in Uluwatu, south of Bali, precisely in Pecatu Village. In Uluwatu area there are many beaches you can visit alternately: Balangan, Dreamland, Padang Padang, and Blue Point. Let's talk about Blue Point first, why and why this beach is interesting and makes me soaking wet.
To get to Blue Point beach, I had to descend the stairs, many stairs and past many cafes with beach views. From the top of the Blue Point already looks interesting, there is a cliff that is used as a cafe, contrast adjacent to the beach basin where the sea water looks spotted two colors, and very clear.
Before arriving at the sand beach, I've continued to pass the foreign tourists carrying their surf boards through the steps of a small staircase, the waves can be seen from above, not look big from the top because far.
Arriving at the beach area, I descended the stairs between the stone walls, and passed through several tourist camps, which were installed between the walls of the big rocks. Arrive at Blue Point beach, you will feel like there is in the cave that directly to the beach, there is one large basin with white sand where many tourists enjoy this beach.
Well there is one story about this beach name, the name "Blue Point" is more commonly known for there is a Villa named Blue Point in this beach area, while the name "Suluban" is the original name derived from the Balinese language "mesulub" which means passing under something, past under. This name does explain the characteristics of the beach because to reach the sea water line, you must pass under the stone wall.
Actually in Blue Point there are two options, more budget friendly, please enjoy the beach for free and cheap cafe cafe in the area to the beach, if you want a more comfortable facilities there Blue Point Bay Villa on the top before going down the stairs to the beach, but unfortunately I received a bad treatment from the officers there.
My advice, if you want to enjoy the restaurant at Blue Point Bay Villa, if you are a local tourist, maybe you should dress more organized and maybe speak in English, this is only possible, from my experience and some friends who ever want to eat there.
